Externally-defined functions with weak linkage should not be
tail-called on ARM or AArch64, as the AAELF spec requires normal calls
to undefined weak functions to be replaced with a NOP or jump to the
next instruction. The behaviour of branch instructions in this
situation (as used for tail calls) is implementation-defined, so we
cannot rely on the linker replacing the tail call with a return.

Use the options in the ARMISelLowering to control whether tail calls are
optimised or not. Previously, this option was entirely ignored on the ARM
target and only honoured on x86.
This option is mostly useful in profiling scenarios. The default remains that
tail call optimisations will be applied.
